The fact they are making changes to windows and partnering with Asus on releasing Xbox hardware in the same space is more than enough evidence, but also, the steam deck is a tiny part of the market(it might be the best but it is still tiny).
I do wonder how this works for offline play which is fairly common for handheld PCs. Does Game Pass work offline?
I don’t think it will simply because the way game pass is implemented is via the MS Store version of those games. Using Steam would likely require them to switch to the Steam version of games and might not be that straightforward? Who knows.
Some employees are even being stalked just so that they can figure out when these shipments are coming.
What is wrong with these people?
Piracy always exists and will always be there once you get an awful deal as a customer. That’s what’s already happening to streaming services. If they don’t learn from that, they’ll just suffer later on.
If I plan to play the game long term and potentially play it on my Deck. The only reason I have Game Pass is for CoD because the player base for that game dies in less than a year when a new one is about to come out.
No worries, it is a pretty daunting document even as a native English speaker.
The page describes the regulations for manufacturers and dostributors. If you import it yourself or buy it elsewhere then it isn’t illegal.
Anyone knows if season 2 will. Be more like the first cour of season 1 or the 2nd cour of season 1? I personally wasn’t a fan of the 2nd cour as it felt like a completely different show that was very battle shounen-ish compared to the first half.
Haven’t been following this season as tightly, wanted to watch a few more but was only able to make time for:
Can’t wait for CITY next season though! Just did a rewatch of Nichijou to prepare for it and I keep forgetting how much this show brightens my day.
As much as I like my Deck, they’re not really able to fulfill the role of a Switch for party games since a number of them are exclusives and setting up controllers are a bit more tedious than joycons which are essentially plug and play.
Most PC handhelds are also fairly bulky and heavy, I find myself struggling to hold them unless I’m resting it on my lap or a table while sitting so this may not be great for a 7 year old.
It’s interesting to see the demographic and maybe because I’m in an Asian country but among my peers, old zoomers and young millenials, it seems like any console is more for people while kids usually play games on their phone.
I mean, it’s a hard definition to specify though. I don’t think anyone would argue that Smash players are not “gamers” and the majority of gamers don’t seem to care about things like these if they are even aware of it.
Nintendo isn’t doing all that hot either reputation-wise.
Outside of Lemmy and certain circles, it certainly feels that Nintendo is doing fine. I can’t say for sure but anecdotally I’ve hardly seen ant criticism of Nintendo whereas Sony and Microsoft get quite a lot of it. I know that may not really count for much but it’s hard to get a proper gauge of these things.
I didn’t think a show could make me laugh harder than Nichijou did but Arawi and Kyoani did it. It was way better than I could have ever hoped for. The whole champon scene killed me and I actually had to pause the show because of how much it tickled me. And man did it really make me miss the dry champon I had in Nagasaki.
